Putting it in a bottle makes all the differenc when fermenting liquids like kombucha, kefir, and, even hot sauce and ketchupe. Not only aesthetically, but in the case of the first two, it is a necessary step to achieve perfect carbonation, as I explained in\u00a0this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My favourite bottle, and the ones I use the most, are the\u00a0AYL Flip Top Glass Bottle<\/a>.\u00a0They are built to handle the pressure, which is extremely necessary if you intend to have carbonated drinks. In addition, their lid seals the bottle perfectly since it resembles a silicone cork attached to the flip-top cap instead of a silicone ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As I said on the\u00a0Recommended Jar page<\/a>, when talking about jars, I think it is ok to use glass jars you already have in your house from other foods if it follows the criteria to be suitable for fermented foods (you can check them\u00a0here\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0here<\/a>).\u00a0However, with bottles for carbonated drinks, I recommend using only bottles that were manufactured to handle pressure.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When the drink is carbonating, a lot of pressure builds up,<\/strong> and can lead to explosions.\u00a0It already happened to me twice, and I finally learned my lesson. Please, learn from me so you don’t have to clean your cupboard or ceiling full of blueberries and kombucha.<\/p>\n\n\n
